Spicy Blackberry Jam

We have wonderful Blackberry bushes that have brought an abundant harvest this year. We love our blackberries and often times have cobblers, pies, crisp, along with berries and cream. Some of the berries never make it out of the garden, we enjoy them right there. One of our favorite recipes for the berries is our Spicy Blackberry Jam, my Grandmother used this recipe every year for her berries.This year some folks will find one of these special little jars of jam in their Christmas Box. Sure hope you enjoy this old fashioned recipe for the berries.

We Have Wonderful Blackberry Bushes Here Come The Berries

Pour the berries and the juice in a very large stew pot over high heat. Stir the berries constantly.
Add the pectin to the berries a little at a time stirring constantly, until the berries reach a full boil.
Add the sugar and spice mix& stirring constantly, so the berries don't scorch. Bring the mixture back to a full boil and boil for 1 minute.
